“P” shape edge roll

Plastic P-Shape Upholstery Edge Roll, 9mm, 13mm & 20mm

Plastic P-Shape Upholstery Edge Roll is a specialist furniture edging profile used to create neat, rounded edges on upholstered sofas, chairs and other suitable furniture components.

The P-shaped cross-section consists of a rounded profile with an adjoining fixing flange, allowing the edging to be positioned along a furniture frame before the final padding and upholstery covering are fitted.

Commonly used on sofa arm facings and chair fronts, this plastic upholstery edge roll helps produce a consistent shape, softening the appearance of angular furniture-frame edges and providing a defined profile beneath fabric or vinyl.

Available in 9mm, 13mm and 20mm sizes, with 25-metre and 50-metre roll options, it is used for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers and restoration workshops.

For different edge shapes and materials, see Upholstery Profiles & Edge Rolls range.

Applications for P-Shape Furniture Edge Roll

Plastic P-shaped edge roll is widely used in furniture production and upholstery restoration to establish a consistent rounded profile.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa arm facings: Creating a neat rolled edge around upholstered arm fronts.
• Chair arm fronts: Softening angular frame edges beneath the upholstery.
• Furniture borders: Providing a consistent profile along suitable straight or gently curved sections.
• Upholstered panels: Producing a defined rounded edge on suitable padded furniture panels.
• Furniture restoration: Replacing worn or damaged edge profiles when rebuilding traditional upholstered furniture.

The rounded profile helps provide a smoother transition between the frame and the upholstery covering.

For additional padding and shaping,

Where appropriate, wadding can be secured to foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive to help prevent movement and bunching during cover fitting.

Fitting P-Shape Upholstery Edging

The P-shaped edge profile is positioned so the rounded section forms the required furniture edge, while the flange provides an attachment area against the frame.

Depending on the furniture construction, the flange may be secured using suitable upholstery fasteners. The fitting method should accommodate the plastic profile without crushing or distorting the rounded section.

For installation, see Upholstery Staples and Pneumatic Staple Guns & Tackers.

Accurate cutting and positioning are important, particularly around curved arm facings. The Measuring & Marking Tools and Knives & Foam Cutters provide useful workshop options.

Before fitting the final fabric, check that the roll follows the frame smoothly, with no twisting, uneven joints or raised fixing points.

Alternative Upholstery Edge Rolls and Profiles

The OKE P-Shape Plastic Edge Roll provides an alternative plastic edging option in 5mm, 9mm and 14mm sizes.

For a firm, resilient foam-based profile, consider the 3/4" Polyfoam Edge Roll, designed to retain its rounded shape beneath upholstery.

Choosing the correct upholstery edging depends on the required profile, dimensions, firmness and method of attachment.
